Rurikoji Gojuto (Rurikoji Five-Story Pagoda)

〒753-0095 山口県山口市木町1−28

4.5(1494)

A temple centered around a National Treasure five-story pagoda that conveys the culture of the Ouchi clan. The grounds, known as Koyo Park, are also famous as a renowned spot for cherry blossoms and plum blossoms.

History

During the Muromachi period, Ouchi Morimi began construction of the five-story pagoda to mourn Ouchi Yoshihiro, and it was completed around 1442 CE (Kakitsu 2). Later, because Mori Terumoto relocated Kojakkuji Temple to Hagi, Nihara Rurikoji was moved to its current location in 1690 CE (Genroku 3). It is currently a Soto sect temple and serves as an important hub for preserving Ouchi culture.
